Did you make a New Year’s resolution this year? Did you resolve to get fit, eat better or take a serious look at your spending?

Whether you have or haven’t, January 1 is always a great time to start afresh for the year ahead.

It’s an obvious time to review expenses, plans you’ve signed-up for as well as day-to-day living habits.

These days, shopping around for the best deal in many facets of life is considered essential and one area worth looking at is your mobile phone plan.

When considering if you are paying too much for your current plan it’s imperative you check your monthly data usage.

Just last year, Deloitte conducted a research that showed forty-three percent of Australians exceed their data plan on a regular basis, equating to over $30 million a month in excess charges. As a large part of the cost of any mobile phone plan, it is essential we learn to manage our data well. So what would your ideal plan look like?

Before considering the many options out there it is worth figuring out what type of user you are.

Numerous mobile phone plans offer add-ons such as; subscription to Netflix, Spotify for 12 months, international roaming pack or a new mobile phone, albeit conditions apply - but do you actually need more add-ons?

If the answer is no, it is time to look for a provider that offers simplicity.

Take Pennytel, for example. If you already own a phone and want a SIM only plan, they offer four competitively priced, easy to understand mobile phone plans with unlimited standard calls and SMS, so all you need to worry about is how much data you need.

According to an article from WhistleOut, an average person who enjoys moderate data devouring activities, such as messenger apps, emails and bit of social media could get away with around 3GB a month.

If you want a little leeway for minimal online streaming; an activity that will chew up your data quicker than normal – perhaps it might be worth getting a bit more.

To be extra sure on which mobile phone plan is right for you, there are plenty of websites with data usage calculators that will estimate the amount of data you may need based on the usage choices you input.

So make it your New Year’s resolution to check out which one of Pennytel’s great price mobile phone plans is the right one for you.
